In this alternate universe of a blog, Oliver North is a major arms dealer, busily negotiating the final deal for supplying citizens who want to create a new political entity within the borders of Libya.
A political entity devoted to freedom of expression.
Free from suppression and oppression.
Free of gender-based denigration.
North is convincing female leaders to feel as emboldened and empowered as their male equivalents.
He is telling them that the U.S. Supreme Court will rule in favour of the women who feel discriminated in their retail jobs.
He coordinates with NATO and UN commanders in laying down lines of fire, offering food and safety to citizens in the warzone if they give up allegiance to a dying regime.
Meanwhile, other alliances are figuring out if they can erase the old political boundaries in order to create a larger, unified land mass dedicated to their cause.
Would you sacrifice your life in the duty of a nuclear plant samurai, your body ravaged by the quiet-but-beastly fire of radiation like an invisible Godzilla you cannot see but will attempt to vanquish for the sake of your people?
If you fight for a cause that history does not favour, to whom are you a hero?
If weapons suppliers like the looks of a skirmish that won’t end anytime soon, will you and your family keep on dying to maintain a warring stalemate?
How will corporations keep their employees motivated in the future?
Should every product have a dual use (if not more uses)?
A hatchet is also a hammer.
A bullet or a missile is just a projectile.
More than a deterrent, how do you put weapons to use in times of [relative] peace?
Western diets may be unhealthy but they make a lot of people wealthy.
Remove the wealth or the diet, what does the resulting vacuum suck into its place?
Guns, butter, diamonds…
Nature and nurture lead us to our choices.
Know your enemy.
Better yet, know your enema, ’cause when war is on your doorstep, some of you are gonna pucker up and get constipated. ;P
